Company

Theater is an actor’s medium, and so The Kingfisher Theater intends to be a theater driven by actors. Our mission is to produce shows chosen by our company of resident actors in ways that truly highlight their own unique take on the art form.

What Is A Company Member?

To be ‘company’ means a lot of things, but mostly it means you have made a real commitment to The Kingfisher Theater. It means you’ll help with all the work that goes into running the every day aspects of the theater, from marketing to budgeting, to house management and box office. It also means you will have a right to be part of each and every show we produce.

Company member will also have a say in the shows we choose each season. You’ll have behind-the-scenes access to the process of theater making, and you’ll work closely alongside the other company members. Company membership is usually a one-season commitment, after which you’ll once again become a freelance actor.

How Can I Become a Company Member?

The short answer: Get involved! Audition! Volunteer! Company membership typically is a one-season commitment, so get involved ahead of time and express interest, and when it’s time to add new company members, you’ll be the first to be considered. In other words, get to know us.
